Write-Protecting a Directory

.htaccess password protect directory

[Darwin]

Hi,

I've been trying to password protect a directory for a while. Just from googling, the only information I found was to use .htaccess to prevent unauthorized viewing. But is there a way that I can make the files inside the directory publicly viewable, but require a password for anyone who wants to upload or change files?

Thanks in advance,

Darwin

I don't know if you can do that through .htaccess. Probably, but it'd be a noodle scratcher to figure out how.

Set up a program that does the uploading, and require a password in the program. Then set the owner of the directory to the webserver. That should do it.

The directory that I'm thinking about is one that my collegues can use Dreamweaver or frontpage to edit, but I don't want them to change anything outside the directory. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,

Darwin
